Several postdoctoral positions are available after Aug. 1st, 2001 in the research group of Dr. Qiang Cui in the Department of Chemistry at University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct research in the area of computational and theoretical chemistry/biophysics. Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or related fields. Strong background in computational/ theoretical chemistry/physics (e.g., electronic structure theory, statistical mechanics, computer simulation) and some programming skills are essential. Experience with biological systems is desirable but not mandatory. The main theme of our research is to develop and apply state-of-the-art computational tools to achieve an understanding of the underlying mechanism of intermolecular interaction and nuclear dynamics in complex systems. The systems of primary interest are macromolecules, particularly enzymes, of biological importance, although inorganic material, which may serve as ligand to biomolecules, will also be studied. (See http://yuri.harvard.edu/~qiang/ wisc/research.html for further details). The University of Wisconsin-Madison has world-renowned programs in both physical/theoretical chemistry (http://www.chem.wisc.edu) and biological sciences (http://www.biochem.wisc.edu), and therefore is a uniquely exciting place to conduct research in the area of biologically oriented physical chemistry. Our group will be equipped with a 32-node PC cluster and several SGI/DEC Alpha workstations; these will be supplemented by the computational facility in the department, which includes PC clusters and DEC Alpha work stations. Living-wise, Madison (which is state capital) is often voted as one of the most livable city in US. Interested candidates please send C.V., cover letter, and arrange for at least two recommendation letters to be sent to: Dr. Qiang Cui, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, 12 Oxford St. Cambridge, MA 02138. Selected reprints/pre-prints are desirable, but not required. Application materials can also be sent electronically to: [log in to unmask] in the format of plain text, Word98, PDF or postscript.
